/The film Etan Anderton recently attended the screening of the 25th anniversary of "Dogma" showing sincere Q&A with Smith, and the director self-depressed referred to his history of giving his actors the line readings. According to Smith, "when I started working with" officials ", I would do something that I didn't know what it was called, but when the actors didn't nail the line, I would be like," just say it like this ", and say the line."

Smith learned that this was a frustrated practice when he gave Shanen Doherty, an experienced actor, a reading line on the "Light" set. When the Doherty did not give a certain line, as Smith heard in his head, he stepped and Told said to say it in a certain way. According to Smith, "(s) Hanen stops dead and she goes:" Did you just give me a reading line? "And I was like, 'Is what's called? She's like,' Kevin, you should never give the actor reading line.

Smith was not expelled, partly because he was used to giving his readings to his partner Jason Musa line. In Smith's defense, if he does it on the set of Very personal "chasing Amy", He worked because he received great performances from Eyoi Lauren Adams, Ben Affleck and Jason Lee. But when he reached "Dogma" in 1999, he was apparently still inclined to give live readings. And he inexplicably feels encouraged enough to tell Rickman to get his job done.

"We worked and (Rickman) made a line, and it didn't sound like the way I wrote it. And I gave him a line of reading. Alan goes like this. I said," Yes, "and he goes, (points to himself with both hands)," Royal trained ". And I'm back to work. "

"Royal Trained" means the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. It is Everest of theater schools. While studying at Rada, Rickman was a dress for Ralph Richardson and Nigel Haforn, two of the 20th century's biggest actors. He was Hans Gruber. Smith may have given Rickman's partner, Bruce Willis, reading the "COP Out" set, so the director had such false time working with the Starwar film.
